The MSU frontcourt has come a long way (Nix and Payne especially) and should be enough to give any team fits, but it really comes down to how well Keith Appling plays. Good strong showing in the opening game. Nix did what he was supposed to do.

Oh, I incincerely wished someone good luck over the phone for BOISE State in the "play in" game yesterday to get in the tournament. As I anticipated they got all huffy and said "We ARE" already in the tournament and it is called the first four. now" I gave a little chuckle and said in a condescending ways if I hadn't really acknowledged it "Well good luck anyhow".She's a nice woman so I knew I was SOOOO wrong. But Im an imbecile to rule her. The monthly injection she gives me might hurt if she decides to move the needle around in me for a bit. LMAO. I better not mention that they lost either. . I love March Madness.
Now I know we're the Madness title comes in.

They should all win their opening round games, I see at least six getting to the sweet sixteen, 3-4 getting to the elite 8 (including Sparty) and probably 2 to the final foul..and one winning the whole thing!!!

I realize The izzo factor but Sparty is in a tough bracket. U
I can see Indiana in the final four. Then Ohio state. Michigan has Burke so maybe they squeak in. But that's about it. So I put Indiana there and maybe one of those other two.
